Experiencing Interruptions?

CHOKER

As a girl drops from the sky onto a crowded beach, a mysterious man drives at breakneck speed towards her.

CHOKER is a unique narrative take on one of the biggest challenges facing our planet. Due to its 'no dialogue' nature, it is a film that we hope will resonate with audiences around the world.

We believe that there needs to be more environmentally focused narrative fiction that will both entertain and educate in equal measure. CHOKER will be the first of a number we plan to make here in Cornwall... each with an unexpected twist.

I think that as short film makers we have a unique position to be a force for good and tell stories that would otherwise have no voice.
